Label & Packaging Graphic Designer

About PILLAR

Are you ready to build the future of performance health? PILLAR Performance ('PILLAR') is a leading Australian sports nutrition company, launched in June 2021. We produce a line of globally leading performance health supplements, fit for purpose for the greatest athletes in the world.

Performance Health. Formulated.

Since launching in June 2021, PILLAR is now used by over 100 professional sporting franchises, including teams within the NBA, NFL, AFL, NRL, Olympic programs, World Tour cycling teams, and the DSM Firmenich Running Team, plus a growing number of elite endurance athletes globally, including but not limited to Nedd Brockmann, Jan Frodeno, Matt Hauser, Ariarne Titmus, and Izzy Batt-Doyle (currently holds Aus Marathon record).

Our products are sold globally, with manufacturing local to each region across Europe, the US, and Australia, going to market via direct-to-consumer, retail, and global distribution partnerships. We're a fully remote team, and our labels and packaging carry the brand everywhere our products land, on shelf at Chemist Warehouse, in a gym bag, on a race table.

We're hiring a Label & Packaging Designer to own that work: preferably full-time (but can be part time min 3 days for the right person), fully remote, flexible on hours for the right person.

How this role makes our strategy successful

PILLAR is scaling rapidly across domestic and international markets. As we grow, operational excellence becomes a competitive advantage. This role ensures:

- Every label and pack is compliant and audit-ready across our regulated markets (TGA, FSANZ, EU, FDA), protecting our licence to sell as we expand into new regions
- GTM timelines hold, with contract manufacturers never left waiting on artwork
- Our brand looks consistent and premium across every SKU and market as the range grows
- Our Creative Director's time is freed up for high-leverage brand and campaign work, not production

About the role

This is the primary function of the role. You'll work closely with our Ops (Product & Packaging) team to design, refine, and finalise labels and packaging artwork across our SKU range, keeping every file print-ready and compliant across our regulated markets (TGA, FSANZ,



EU, FDA). We're ideally looking for 5 days a week, but we could support 3 to 4 days for the right person.

PILLAR is a fully remote team, but we're a highly connected one, so this role must be based in Australia, ideally on the east coast to align time zones with the rest of the team. Bonus points if you're in South East Queensland or Northern NSW, where a large part of our team is based and where we meet up in person.

Key responsibilities

- Produce label and packaging artwork across PILLAR's product range
- Keep label files organised, version-controlled, and easy for the team to find
- Maintain and organise our shared design asset library
- Work with our team to apply TGA, FSANZ, EU, and FDA regulatory and compliance requirements across our label range
- Liaise directly with print suppliers and contract manufacturers to get specs and proofs right
- Spot and fix issues before they become a print run
- Organise, resize, save and share product render images.
- If capacity exists: support eDMs, website banners, and Shopify assets alongside the core label workload
- Continue to evolve labels as the brand evolves: claims changes, regulatory updates, and new packaging
- Partner with our Regulatory and Operations teams to ensure labels stay compliant
- Project manage label and artwork delivery to keep GTM timelines on track, making sure contract manufacturers have the artwork they need, when they need it

About you

- A genuine high performer who values achievement, personal growth and challenging themselves, whatever that looks like for you. We're a team that loves performance, from sport and fitness to professional and personal goals, with a mix of former athletes and people who enjoy striving to be their best.




- Solid experience designing labels and packaging and understanding print processes is a core requirement - ideally across supplements, nutrition or skincare categories. Bonus if you’ve worked on regulated products across TGA, FSANZ, EU, and FDA.
- High-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator.
- An extremely sharp eye for detail: proof-reading, die lines, bleeds, colour separations and print specs don't scare you.
- Highly organised, self-directed, and reliable: you’re a perfectionist in keeping files and projects tidy without being asked
- A proactive communicator who flags problems early and works well in a remote, fast-moving team

Tools

- Adobe Creative Suite: Illustrator and Photoshop used daily and essential for this role
- Google Workspace, Dropbox, Slack and Microsoft Office for general admin and team collaboration
- Figma (bonus, not required)

How we work

- We don't wait to be told. If you see the gap, you're already the person best placed to close it. That's what "seize opportunities" actually means day to day, not just the big calls.
- Moving fast means we'll sometimes be wrong, that's fine. What's not ok is being wrong quietly, or being wrong the same way twice.
- We make it work with what we've got before we ask for more. Resourcefulness comes before resources.
- Good ideas outrank job titles. If you're closest to the problem, your read on it carries real weight, regardless of who else is in the room.
- We say the direct thing, kindly. Vague feedback is its own kind of dishonesty; it just delays the real conversation instead of avoiding it.
- We hold ourselves to the same standard we ask of the athletes who trust us. PILLAR isn't just what we sell, it's how we work.
- We treat challenges as opportunities, applying the lessons we learn to always get smarter.
- Working remotely and across time zones means someone's always catching up on what happened while they weren't in the room or asleep, so what we write down has to stand on its own, without needing "were you on the call?" to make sense of it
